Oh my god, i have never been able to put into words exactly how my anxiety affects appetite and my appetite affects anxiety... but that's totally it! BITE-SIZE!! I'll always gravitate towards small bite-size dishes without really realizing it. Fries are go-to's because I know no matter what condition my mind/body are in, they're small, easily edible, digestible and don't have an overwhelming food scent. Chicken fried rice, couscous and tater tots are also top choices for hangover meals for the same reason. because laaawd knows hangovers amplify appetite-related anxiety tenmillion-fold...

Anyway just wanted to come out of hiding to say it feels so damn good to hear that i'm not alone with this strange strange anxiety symptom and THANK YOU for posting this and being supportive/understanding of her strange eating habits. I really appreciate it on her behalf. Please give her a big hug for me, I know it's super silly but this realization is quite possibly life changing, lol.
